Moated site at Blundeston Hall is a medieval defensive earthwork located near Lowestoft in Suffolk. The monument comprises a substantial moat forming an irregular enclosure, which would have surrounded a residential or manorial dwelling during the medieval period. Such moated sites were common features of the English landscape from the twelfth century onwards, serving both practical and status-affirming functions for landowners of modest to moderate means. The earthwork at Blundeston Hall survives as an important example of this settlement type, preserving evidence of medieval land use and territorial organisation in East Anglia.
